Howdy all,

Have tried running some of the newer CPS2 games in DOSMAME 37b13 (both intel and non-intel builds), and have noticed that they run slowly (~20 FPS). Also noted that games that once ran full speed (SF2CE) are now also running visibly slowly.

My Setup :

ArcadeOS/DosMAME
Shuttle AV61 motherboard
PIII 533 (Katmai core)
128 MB PC133 ram (generic)
SB PCI 128
ATI Rage Pro 32
13 GB Diamond HD ATA/33 (running FAT32)

Initially I thought this might have been cpu/ram related, so I swaped out the CPU and ram for a PIII 750 and 256 MB PC133 CAS2 ram. It didn't make _any_ difference.

So, out of curiousity, does anyone else have this problem? Have you got around it? How?

Would switching to FAT16 make a difference?

Muchisimas,
